AND WITH IT THE HISTORY OF THE KILAUEA The USS KILAUEA is the first of a classof ammuniton ships designed to carry a wide variety of munitions for transfer to combatant ships while underway. She was built by the Quincy Division of General Dynamics at Quincy. Massachusetts. The keel was laid on 10 March 1966 and launched on 9 August 1967. The KILLER WHALE was commissioned 10 August 1968, at Boston Naval Shipyard and arrived at her homeport of Concord, Caliiornia on 8 November 1969. The KILALJEA ' S first Westpac cruise was from July 1970 to February 1971 and has since cruised to the blue waters of the Western Pacific 4 times. Her ports of visit include Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines Islands, Hong Kong, Singapore and other exotic places. THE KILAUEA is named after a volcanic crater on the southeast side of Mauna Loa Mountain, located on the Island of Hawaii. The volcano, the traditional home of Pele, the Polynesian Fire Goddess, is still one of the world ' s most active volcanoes. The KILAUEA is the second naval ammunition vessel to bear the same name. The first KILAUEA was com- missioned on 16 May 1941 and after serving the Atlantic Fleet during the first part of World War II she was overhauled and renamed MOUNT BAKER. With a full load displacement of approximately 18,000 tons, the KILAL EA has the size, speed and caiJability to rearm four ships simultaneously, the KILAUEA is 564 feet long with a beam of 81 feet, and a full draft of 28 feet. The three installed boilers are capable of develop- ing 22,000 shaft horsepower which drive the single six bladed screw propelling KILAUEA in excess of 20 Knots. The KILALTEA was designed for rapid underway transfer of ammunition to ships alongside. In addition, verticle replenishment plays an important role, by using two CH-46 helicopters for a fast and efficient means of transfer of supplies to various ships. USS KILAUEA is an integral part of the Navy ' s peace keeping fleet. Assigned to Commander, Naval Surface Force, L ' . S. Pacific Fleet as a unit of Service Squadron Three, USS KILAUEA and her crew of 300 officers and men stand ready to answer the call for freedom and peace throughout the world. - § s c ' ' S.

Though we have not yet achieved perfection and we are conscious of many ills and ine- qualities still to be set right, we should also be aware that we share a degree of FREEDOM and a level of PROSPERITY that exceeds those available to men and women everywhere in the world ...

As the 1975-76 deployment of KILAUEA draws to a close, I sincerely hope that each of you will reflect upon the past months with a sense of pride in your ac- complishments in improving KILAUEA ' s readiness straight across the board. The ship you brought back to Concord is better in all respects than the one that left our homeport in September. It has been a major under- taking and has been accomplished under unusual con- ditions in that our schedule permitted little time for other than operational inport periods. The tempo of operations for AE ' s is less now than it was a few years ago as would be expected when there are no combat operations. You have demonstrated, however, that you are ready for any task whether it be humanitarian operations, or arming and refueling other ships at sea, day or night. You have shown your abilities to react on short notices and to cope with any type of weather conditions. You have met every commitment levied by our operational commanders and more often than not have accomplished your tasks in less than allocated time. Throughout the deployment, you have been involved with the traditional three B ' s of the mobile logistic force . . . BEANS, BULLETS, and BLACK OIL. On one occasion we added another B . . . BUBBLE WRAP, much to the consternation of the flight deck and helo crews. In every case you have come through like the champs you are. Simultaneously, you have made significant improved in the operational readiness and reliability of KILAUEA. You have always come through with Hustle while Taking CARE OF BUSINESS and without WASTED DAYS AND WASTED NIGHTS . Your efforts have been noted with satisfaction by those we have worked for and with and I want to extend my personal appreciation for the many long hours and your combined efforts that have significantly improved KILAUEA ' S operational readiness.
